Pablo Zabaleta knows there will no margin for error when West Ham United take on Liverpool on Monday night.
The Hammers head into the meeting with Jurgen Klopp's table toppers having suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats to Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
But, having defeated Manchester United and Arsenal at London Stadium this season, Zabaleta is confident that his team can pose the Reds plenty of questions as they aim to get back on track.
He said: “Of course it is is going to be difficult because it is a team that’s top of the league. We need to try 100 per cent in every single game.
Every player needs to be on it, they have to feel proud to play for West Ham. And to make this club better

“Against the top teams, we’ve been playing really well, we have maybe seven points from four or five games
“But we’ve failed three or four times to get that seventh position.“That’s something we’ve been talking about, how good it’d be to finish seventh, and to try and play in the Europa League next season.
“If you want to have a good season, you just need that consistency and be able to play well enough week in week out
“Every player needs to be on it, they have to feel proud to play for West Ham. And to make this club better."
